Morykwas tested whether controlled subatmospheric pressure, applied through sealed open-cell foam, creates a wound environment that promotes healing. Four porcine experiments versus saline gauze controls: laser Doppler blood flow (n = 5), granulation tissue formation rate (n = 10), bacterial clearance from infected wounds (n = 5) and random-pattern flap survival (n = 5).
